LI Tools is a simple Chrome extension that allows users to automate personalized LinkedIn Sales Navigator connection invites and messages. Developed by Gareth Daine, this free tool is perfect for individuals who want to streamline their LinkedIn networking efforts.

Once logged into LinkedIn Sales Navigator and after performing a search or selecting a saved search, users can simply click the circular LI Tools icon in their extension toolbar. This will bring up an options popup where they can modify the custom message and set the maximum number of connection requests to be sent.

With the required options filled in, users can click the "Start" button to begin sending out customized invites or messages. LI Tools will paginate through each result set until it reaches the value set in the "Max. Invitation Requests/Messages" field.

To stop all outgoing connection or message requests, users can click the extension icon and then the "Stop" button.

It's important to note that users should utilize the "Exclude contacted leads" filter in LinkedIn Sales Navigator to remove connections or users they have already reached out to. This feature is especially useful when sending out the same message a few days later.

The extension also provides additional options, such as setting the maximum number of connection requests and messages, as well as customizing the message with the recipient's first name using the {{ firstname }} placeholder.

Overall, LI Tools is a valuable tool for automating personalized LinkedIn Sales Navigator connection invites and messages. It simplifies the networking process and saves users time and effort.
